buttons that are easy to use with winter gloves, yet hard to knock accidentally.

How about an ability to take time signals from a master clock on the committee boat so's everyone get's the same countdown, you could also signal recalls and the like.

How about voice activation for the buttons...
The GPS signal would give you clock synch anyway, but wireless LAN race signal sync with a "server" on the committee boat sounds perfect... And once you've got that and the GPS you also have everything you need for race tracking. Add to that differential GPS and a unit on each end of the line and there could also be automatic OCS notification which could mean no more black flags... Just think how easy race management would be if you didn't have to spot OCS or do general recalls:-) Edited by JimC - 06 Dec 13 at 7:52pm |

Display of current time(including seconds) as well as countdown. So that when the warning goes at 14:00:00, you're ready for it.

Surely nobody relies on the strap that comes with the watch?? in my experience, the buckle breaks a few times out and your timing goes for a permanent swim.
A replacement Velcro strap is a must. As for Mags and his hepatic alarm watch connected to left and right nipples, the mind boggles as to what happens at the start gun and to what bit of his anatomy that is connected!! |

It doesn't connect with your liver !!  Its actually Haptic, I had to look it up! Definition below: "Haptic technology,
or haptics, is a tactile feedback technology which takes advantage
of the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations, or motions to the
user." |

I rather (mid)thought that it perhaps delivered an alcoholic stimulant to get you started??
